Joomla! Optimized Hosting

How can you really give your site a speed boost? Host your site on A2 Hosting’s Turbo Servers, featuring up to 20X faster page loads compared to competing Joomla! Hosting providers. A2 Hosting’s Turbo Servers feature a speed enhanced, drop-in replacement for Apache that can really make a difference for your site.

You’ll also get access to their exclusive A2 Optimized Joomla! install. A2 Optimized Joomla! is a result of A2 Hosting’s team of software optimizers testing numerous Joomla! configurations to determine the one that offers the fastest page load speeds. Your A2 Optimized Joomla! install comes pre-configured with these speed enhanced settings:

Browser Caching

CSS & JavaScript Merging & Minification

Disabling Debugging

Gzip Compression

Page Caching & Duration

A2 Hosting’s Turbo Servers also features free caching solutions that you’ll normally only find compatible on higher priced VPS or Dedicated Server options. Give your site an extra boost with Turbo Cache, APC/OPcache and Memcached. Each of these caching solutions can be turned on with a few clicks of your mouse within the Site Accelerator tool found within the A2 Hosting user control panel.
